Lead Wool
Lead wool is used in diverse applications including the creation of waterproof joints, as Radiation shielding typically in Lead Blankets, in architectural restoration for sealing Lead Flashing and Aviation for rotor and propeller balancing.
Here are some of Nuclead’s recent shipments of Lead Wool
- Pick and ship Lead Wool per QQ-C-40. Sold to a roofing company in New Jersey for chimney flashing. The contractor removes damage mortar and replaces it with the lead wool while installing new lead flashing. This provides a waterproof joint. When re-flashing a chimney (for example), the old flashings must be removed, and the new flashings must be inserted into the brick or stone. These new flashings are held into place in the mortar joints using metal wedges. Lead wool is an ideal material to use for this purpose because it’s malleable, doesn’t react with copper as do most other metals, is long-lasting, doesn’t rust, and wedges tight.
